I did not have a good day. I tried hard to stay positive, until I got the phone call from the doctor's office with the results of my son's EEG.
How come the nurses can't be a little more personable when they call with not-so-good-news? In a monotone voice..."The EEG showed intermediate spikes and sharp discharges on the left side of his brain during sleep. This is abnormal and means that he has a higher threshold for having seizures. This does not mean that he's epileptic, yet(note the word YET), nor does it mean he's having seizures, it means that we have to do more tests.
They have scheduled a 24 hour EEG starting Monday at 7:30 AM and ending at 7:30 Tuesday AM. The MRI is next Wednesday.
My mother in law is a basketcase because of this, the absolute worst thing that could happen, has happened and she's been crying off and on all afternoon. Ok, so I've shed a few tears myself, but I haven't gone to pieces, only because I know that I can't. I will not let my son see how scared I really am. I don't want to freak him out.
My husband doesn't really know what to think. My oldest son isn't saying much and well my youngest son is too young to really understand and for THAT I'm thankful.
I will be out of work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Tomorrow will be hell trying to get everything caught up since I won't be there and I plan to work on Saturday to make sure I don't leave any loose ends. My bosses (the two that I have talked to) have been really good about it. I apologized for such short notice for needing three days off next week and both of them said "your son comes 1st." That's the one thing I'm very thankful for where I work. Everyone is 'family oriented' and know that family is 1st, work is 2nd.
I'm gonna go back to watching the debate and trying to think about other things.
Please send good vibes, thoughts and hugssss. Quickly....
Night.
